In the US there is a form of subsided housing known as Section 8 where vouchers are given to people on low incomes to help pay their rent. Section 8 is also a subsidy for landlords in low income areas. See the explanation of how this developed on the website referred to later. As part of the general offensive against working people worldwide, the US corporations and their city, state and federal governments are trying to eradicate Section 8. This is the story of how tenants and activists got together and defeated one of these attacks. ... read full story / add a comment

Last Saturday afternoon (14/8/04), up to 15 gardai descended on a lone Traveller family, whose trailer was parked just off the South Link Road in Cork City. When the gardai threatened to have the trailer towed away, the mother locked herself into it to prevent it being moved. The gardai broke off the perspex window at the back of the trailer in an attempt to enter it. At this stage, the woman, who is receiving medical attention for depression, took a bread knife and attempted to cut her wrists. Fortunately, the knife was quite blunt and did little damage ... read full story / add a comment
